Bluetooth problems (lemmy.world)

Hi!

I have my Home Assistant in a proxmox vm. I hadn't bluetooth, so I bought a Sabrent BT-040 which seeing the documentation it says to work without any problem on HA. My problem is that the integration works, but I'm not able to find any of my devices in Home Assistant. I have 2 speakers which work eith bluetooth and I can't figure out how to integrate them into my HA. Anyone has similar experiences?

Thanks!!

Make sure you introduce your USB dongle through ProxMox to the VM on which HA ist installed. There is an USB-option in the menu for your VM where you can choose which USB device or port from the Host should be passed trough. Once that is done figure out how the USB is connected to your HA VM via the HA shell. Something like

ls /dev/tty*

should give you the path you will need to integrate it into HA (if autodiscovery doesn’t work).
